FORT MYERS, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Twenty years of holiday wishes, spectacular trees, and neighbors helping neighbors. This December, the 20th Annual Festival of Trees, presented by Publix Charities, celebrates two decades of community generosity at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center, December 2–6, 2026.

Benefiting Goodwill Southwest Florida and the historic Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center, the festival transforms the historic Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center into a holiday showcase filled with imagination and possibility. Local businesses design and decorate each tree, weaving gifts into elaborate displays of ornaments, ribbons, and unexpected details. Visitors are invited to explore the trees, choose their favorites, and purchase raffle tickets for the chance to bring home a fully decorated tree with all its accompanying gifts.
